Shares of hotel and casino entertainment company Caesars Entertainment (NASDAQ:CZR)
jumped 6.6% in the afternoon session after the company expressed optimism about a strong comeback for its Las Vegas business following a recent travel slump. This positive outlook seemed to overshadow a recent earnings report where the company missed analyst estimates. Caesars reported a loss of ($0.27) per share, which was worse than the expected ($0.11) loss. Revenue for the quarter also came in at $2.87 billion, slightly below estimates and down 0.2% from the previous year. During an earnings call, CEO Tom Reeg acknowledged that the Las Vegas properties saw a dip in room rates and occupancy over the summer. However, he also noted signs of improvement and stated that the company expected the next year to be a record-breaking one for conventions and group business, which was vital for its recovery.
Shares of manufacturing company Leggett & Platt (NYSE:LEG)
fell 2.9% in the afternoon session after the stock continued to retreat as the company reported third-quarter financial results that revealed softer sales, overshadowing a significant jump in net earnings. Although net earnings rose to $127.1 million from $44.9 million in the same period a year ago, this was largely due to one-time events. The company recorded an $86.8 million gain from the sale of its Aerospace Products Group, along with other real estate gains and insurance proceeds. However, investors appeared to focus on the decline in core business activity, as net trade sales fell to $1.04 billion from $1.10 billion the previous year. The market's reaction suggested concern about the company's underlying operational performance, looking past the profits generated by asset sales.
Shares of pop culture collectibles manufacturer Funko (NASDAQ:FNKO)
jumped 3.8% in the afternoon session after the company announced a merchandise collaboration with Fumi Games and PlaySide Studios for the upcoming video game 'Mouse: P.I. For Hire.'.

During its earnings call, the company expressed satisfaction with its performance, noting that both revenue and cash flow were in line with its projections. A key point was the successful integration of its Marcum acquisition, which produced better-than-expected cost savings, known as synergies.

Looking ahead, CBIZ maintained its full-year revenue and earnings guidance, signaling confidence in its ability to sustain long-term growth.
Shares of private equity firm Carlyle Group (NASDAQ:CG) fell 5.7% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter financial results where revenue fell significantly short of analysts' expectations, alongside a slight miss on fee-related earnings. The global investment firm generated revenue of $782.5 million, a 12.6% decline from the previous year and a 20.7% miss against Wall Street's forecast of $987.3 million. Additionally, fee-related earnings, a key measure of recurring profitability for asset managers, came in at $311.9 million, narrowly missing estimates. The results were not all negative, as the firm's Assets Under Management (AUM) grew 5.9% year-over-year to $474 billion, beating expectations by 6%. However, investors appeared to focus on the significant revenue shortfall, which drove the negative sentiment around the stock.

Shares of financial technology provider Fiserv (NYSE:FI) jumped 2.5% in the afternoon session after the stock's positive momentum continued as the company appointed a new chief financial officer to reset its course following a disappointing third-quarter earnings report. Fiserv hired Paul Todd, the former chief financial officer at rival Global Payments, to take over the job from Bob Hau. This executive change was part of a broader leadership shuffle that also included two new co-presidents. The moves came after the company released disappointing Q3 earnings and cut its financial outlook, which had caused shares to fall sharply. The management shuffle was viewed as an effort to temper the fallout from the poor results. Before this rebound, some noted the company's shares were trading at a steep discount compared to industry peers.
Shares of enterprise data capture company Zebra Technologies (NASDAQ:ZBRA) jumped 3.2% in the afternoon session after the stock rebounded as the company reported third-quarter results that surpassed its own outlook following a volatile week. For the quarter, Zebra reported a 5% year-over-year increase in sales to $1.3 billion, and non-GAAP diluted earnings per share increased by 11% to $3.88. The company also provided a strong sales growth outlook for the fourth quarter of 8% to 11% and announced a plan to commit $500 million to share repurchases. Despite the positive report, the stock had previously slumped during the week after the earnings guidance fell short of some expectations, with reports noting a slowing in orders. Adding to the pressure, Citigroup had decreased its price target on the stock to $311.00 from $346.00. The stock’s recovery suggested investors shifted their focus to the solid quarterly performance and shareholder-friendly buyback plan.
Shares of digital banking company Axos Financial (NYSE:AX) fell 2.8% in the afternoon session after the company reported third-quarter 2025 earnings that, while beating analyst expectations on profit, showed flat year-over-year sales. The digital banking company posted adjusted earnings of $2.07 per share, surpassing the consensus estimate of $1.88, while revenue of $323.4 million also narrowly beat expectations. However, investors appeared to focus on several underlying weaknesses. The flat year-over-year revenue growth signaled a potential slowdown. Additionally, the company's tangible book value per share, a key metric for banks, missed analyst estimates. Its efficiency ratio, which measures operational performance, also fell short of expectations and worsened compared to the same quarter last year. These negative factors seemingly overshadowed the headline beats, leading to investor concern about the company's growth and profitability.
Shares of diabetes technology company Tandem Diabetes Care (NASDAQ:TNDM)
fell 6% in the afternoon session after investor concerns were sparked by a disappointing financial outlook from peer DexCom.

Although the company's earnings and revenue surpassed targets, its stock fell sharply by around 11% to 12%. The drop was triggered after company executives provided a growth forecast for 2026 that might not meet Wall Street's expectations and also signaled a lower margin forecast. This negative outlook from a key industry player appeared to create wider concerns, weighing on shares of related companies like Tandem Diabetes.
